ISO reception dress

Hey everyone,

I’m not 100% sure yet but I think I want a reception dress.

My dress is ball gown style and I’m getting married in the south of France in September so it will be pretty warm still. Dancing will be kicking off at 11:30pm ish so I was thinking of changing then.

The issue is I’m a bit self conscious of my larger body and I’m finding it hard to find a fun dress that isn’t going to expose too much. I’m thinking a fringe/ flapper style dress.

There is lots of options online but I having trouble for a few reasons:

  1. I don’t want to spend more than 100€ish

  2. I need it to be a plus size US 20/ UK 22

  3. I don’t want it too short

  4. Quality

My mom had gifted me my wedding dress and it’s stunning. I am afraid to offend her by changing as it wasn’t cheap but if I be up changing I want the quality to be decent.

I have searched high and low and there seems to be a few Ali express sellers who can customise their designs- has anyone done that?

Or maybe someone has come across a plus size inclusive brand/ online shop that sells this type of dress for that price range?

I am based in the south of France so looking for international or European sellers where possible.

Got my hair extensions from the UK and had to pay import taxes to get them released so trying to avoid that.

Thanks in advance of any advice/ suggestions!
